Who's gonna go off the rails?

[KingOrfeo]

Ben Carson to start with.

Who's gonna go off the rails?

lol

Everybody, apparently. Since Sarah Palin is on the guest list, readiness to go off the rails appears to be a requirement.

CPAC: 8 things to watch.

 

[dan_c00000]

They'll probably hold a "Rally for O'Reilly".

 

[KingOrfeo]

Ben Carson's plan to destroy ISIS is to destroy ISIS.

So does this mark the week when the Republicans actively begin to try losing the Oval Office in 2016?

[KingOrfeo]

I agree, he and Jeb will both stink up the room, both Rinos.

No one who would be the first choice of the CPAC crowd will ever be POTUS and you know it.

You mean like they were "losing" the Senate and the House?

I said O-v-a-l O-f-f-i-c-e. See the difference?

 

[KingOrfeo]

Didn't you say the Democrats would hold the Senate?

Perhaps at some time after 2012, but not, so far as I recall, at any time in 2014. Maybe so.

In any case, this ain't like that. Even in summer 2014 it was reasonably possible the Dems could hold the Senate, though the odds were long. But this ain't a close one. Nobody who is preferred by the CPAC/Tea Party wing of the GOP will be acceptable to a majority of the voters. You are still persistently and inexplicably oblivious to how unpopular is your kind of conservatism. See the Pew Political Typology 2014 -- "Steadfast Conservatives" -- that's them and you -- are only 12% of the public, 15% of registered voters. (And an old demographic, 31% are over 65.) "Business Conservatives," described as "Pro-Wall Street, pro-immigrant" are 10%/12%. The GOP can't win without the latter, and they will never vote for Ted Cruz or Mike Huckabee.

Truth is, you have no clue what will happen in 2016 at this stage, nobody does.

I know that, barring a plague that mainly affects the young and the nonwhite, there will not be the kind of huge demographic changes that a CPAC/TP nominee would need even to have a chance of beating Bernie Sanders.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Phil Robertson gets even more bizarre than you remember him.

[KingOrfeo]

More BS.

Please stop posting this kind of content-free snark, forever. It's embarrassing, mainly to you but also to all of us. If that's all you have to say, don't say it.

Jeb Bush amuses all and sundry.

“I’m not an expert on the ways of Washington,” Jeb Bush, 30th-generation American power WASP, son and brother to other Presidents Bush, told CPAC on Friday.

He was lucky that most of audience didn’t laugh out loud. (I laughed out loud.) Why would he say a thing like that? Well, as a dodge. Sean Hannity, who interviewed Jeb for about twenty minutes Friday, asked him about funding for the Homeland Security department. Should the Republican Congress hold its ground and risk (/ensure) that the government goes into shutdown? Jeb responded that Congress should definitely defund Obama’s executive actions on deportation in its DHS appropriations bill. Okay, but is it worth risking a shutdown? That’s when Jeb said that he’s “not an expert in the ways of Washington.” He doesn’t know all this procedural rigmarole, he wants you to believe.

Uh huh. Jeb Bush obviously knows the situation in Congress. He obviously knows Congress. As he acknowledged later in the Q&A, he knew exactly where in Congress the reauthorization for No Child Left Behind was, at that minute. When asked later what he’d do about ISIS, he said “I like the idea Senator Corker’s talking about.” He knows what’s going on, probably even better than most actual members of Congress know what’s going on, and he definitely does not think it would be a good idea for Republicans to shut down the Department of Homeland Security over President Obama’s executive actions on deportation. But he doesn’t want to say that at CPAC. He has enough RINO-sellout positions to worry about already.
